Default RE: Prop Size for Avistar with TT. 46

Dead wrong -- the manufacturer only recommends the 10-6 for break-in. The disc area is too small for a slow draggy airframe & the pitch is too low for the disc area -- insufficient power load. This means poorer acceleration, poorer climb, excessive loss of speed in turns, higher landing speed & too many engine revs. But it's yours, so go ahead.

A 10-6 is suited to a smaller, weaker engine, like an OS .40 LA, or a good 32.
